A Compendium of Issues/Actions
1990s ANCA = Part 161; Limit local actions

TRUE OR FALSE?
The CNEL metric is valid for determining community noise impacts
The 65 dB CNEL is a valid criteria for determining “levels of significance”
The airport master plan is the only basis for determining compatible land uses
TRUE OR FALSE? Existing compatible land uses are
forever Variations in risk exposure is
considered in the longitudinal and lateral directions
Golf courses are a preferred compatible land use
CALTRANS Handbook safety zones only apply to vacant land decisions
TRUE OR FALSE?
The height of structures is determined by a Part 77 analysis
The CALTRANS Handbook provides a “starting point/guidelines” for land use decisions
A 1983 CLUP is just as good as one produced using the 2002 Handbook
TRUE OR FALSE?
Business jets only use or are based at urban/reliever airports
The 2002 CALTRANS Handbook can provide “findings” for overriding outdated CLUPS
Automobile parking is an acceptable use in a RPZ
TRUE OR FALSE?
The CALTRANS Handbook’s safety zones delineate safe/unsafe areas
There is no relationship between an airport master plan and communities’ General Plan Housing Elements
CEQA/ALUC action must consider the CALTRANS Handbook
THINGS THAT ARE TRIED Acquisition CLUP Zoning Sound insulation Part 150 Grant assurances Airport overlay zone Special Aviation element in General Plan
WHAT’S NEXT?
Beware of Part 150/Master Plans/CEQA
Don’t overlook what can be done administratively with an ALP
Maximize the use of existing CEQA actions
WHAT’S NEXT?
Take advantage of FAA’s Record of Determination in the NEPA process
Stay close to your local planning department activity
Watch for un-rentable/un-sellable existing compatible land uses
